Ingredients Notes For Garlic Steak Bites and Eggs:

- Garlic: Minced or sliced, it adds a rich, aromatic flavor to the steak.
- Eggs: Cooked to your preference, whether scrambled, fried, or poached.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and herbs like parsley or thyme enhance the natural flavors of the steak and eggs.
- Butter or Oil: For cooking, adding richness to the steak bites and providing a non-stick surface for the eggs.
Recipe Steps:
- Cook the Steak Bites: Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak bites with garlic until browned and slightly crispy on the outside but still tender inside.
- Prepare the Eggs: In another pan, cook the eggs to your liking, seasoning with a bit of salt and pepper.

Storage Options:
- Refrigerate: Store leftover steak bites in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to prepare eggs fresh when serving.
- Reheat: Warm the steak bites in a skillet over low heat to retain their juiciness before serving with freshly cooked eggs.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Steak Bites:
